Peter Hobart, 19, swerved to miss stop sticks on North Broadway, lost control of his vehicle and slammed into an ice cream parlor patio.

"He has a fast car, so he thinks he can outrun them because he outran a sheriff once," said Owen Lee Hobart, Peter's brother.

Freeman said the chase started on Interstate 29, when a deputy noticed Hobart speeding in a blue sports car with no license plates. The chase led police to North Broadway.

"Stop sticks were attempted to be deployed and at approximately that time that's when the vehicle lost control and struck a parked motor vehicle," Freeman said.

The parked vehicle, a pickup truck, was owned by a father eating ice cream at Christy Cream with his four children, mere feet from the spot Hobart crashed.

"When I looked out the window, he was pushing them away from the retaining wall, fortunately, because it sprayed glass all over this area," said David Christiansen, who witnessed the crash.

"He is of the mindset that he really doesn't care what they do, really," Owen Lee Hobart said. "The nurses say when he went to the hospital that he was being rude to them, so they sedated him. He'll be out until tomorrow."

KETV NewsWatch 7 has learned Hobart bailed out of jail on Aug. 5 on a second-degree theft charge. He has at least four other driving violations.
